Winter coats can probably be put away for the weekend, with temperatures expected to surge back into the 70s, according to the National Weather Service.

After North Texas’ first freeze of the season this week, the forecast calls for highs in the mid-60s Friday and mid- to upper 70s Saturday and Sunday, weather service meteorologist Nick Hampshire said.

The Dallas-Fort Worth area recorded its first freeze of the season Wednesday when temperatures dipped to 29 degrees at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Hampshire said.

It wasn’t quite as cold Thursday, with a morning low of 33 degrees.

Temperatures on both days remained above record lows in the low 20s for those dates, Hampshire said.
